GARDEN TOUR: Therapeutic Garden Design in Charlotte, North Carolina | Linda Vater

💁‍♀️ My friend Nev gave me the best compliment ever. He told me that watching my videos inspired him to create a garden as both a hobby & place of beauty…and as therapy for some health challenges he faces. Gardening is such a gift is it not? Watch to the end where he shares his struggles and how gardening has helped him confront them head-on. Talk about inspiring‼️ And how about that stone tower?

    What a beautiful garden and a beautiful life story!! Having a child with higher functioning autism, you give me hope. God bless.

    You have a beautiful garden. I agree with you “Do what makes you happy” look what you have accomplished in your life. You so called in remission which you earned in your therapeutic garden. Take care, and enjoy everyday.



  3. Deborah Ryan on October 1, 2021 at 7:44 am

    Thank you for sharing your garden tour – inspired and inspiring! We will need an update next season. Stay well.

    What an absolute inspiration!! Thanks for the tour. Your garden is exquisite. A real gem. It’s given me so many ideas. Love all your containers. Yes, Linda is so inspiring as well. Love watching her channel. Keep on gardening my friend. We’ll need to see an update as your plants evolve and grow. That would be fun.



  6. Lori Lynn on October 1, 2021 at 7:48 am

    So many places of refuge and water, pretty soon doves and birds will seek out your garden.



  7. S. Grant on October 1, 2021 at 7:52 am

    Anyone else hear high pitched beeping throughout the video or am I going insane?



  8. Kim on October 1, 2021 at 7:55 am

    I love seeing this! I have a new build too!! I’ve packed in the trees and furniture of the landscape… you have done sooo much! Great job



  9. Penelope Hammerton on October 1, 2021 at 7:58 am

    Utterly amazing in such a short time. Your garden is a result of many many hours hard work I suspect. I hope you and your family will be very happy in your new home and garden. Richly deserved.



  10. April Braggs on October 1, 2021 at 8:01 am

    How did you make the rock tree?

    Love this beautiful garden. I got so many ideas



  13. Elaine Higgins on October 1, 2021 at 8:05 am

    Where do you get that color of pea gravel? The stuff I see at Home Depot and Lowe’s is so white!



  14. Santa Hampton on October 1, 2021 at 8:05 am

    Such a beautiful and rewarding transformation in a short time! Kudos to you, Nev! I look forward to another visit soon!

    I follow Nev on Instagram and love his posts and garden tours, so I was happy to get an extended tour here on Linda’s channel. His garden is beautiful and it is astounding that it’s only 8 months old.



  18. Cacticollector on October 1, 2021 at 8:10 am

    Gods original purpose for mankind put them in a garden to cultivate it and to take care of the earth and to expand the paradise



  19. Sunny Ja on October 1, 2021 at 8:15 am

    Very enjoyable tour! So relaxing & really shows how other homes can nearly disappear with proper placement of plants, well done!



  20. Harriett Pavon Rosado on October 1, 2021 at 8:15 am

    Welcome to North Carolina! I enjoyed your tour. I took copious notes…lol.



  21. Stacey Alarcon on October 1, 2021 at 8:16 am

    Does Nev have a YouTube or Instagram? I’d love to follow him and watch his garden grow. So inspiring.



  22. cadena on October 1, 2021 at 8:16 am

    Well, Nev, you are my inspiration. For the first time, I’m going to actually try a little design rather than just sticking plants all over the place. Thanks for giving me the spark to try!



  23. Redstamp on October 1, 2021 at 8:19 am

    I love this garden. It is going to be even more awesome as it matures. I love the little ornaments of interest through out as well. The tortoise is especially awesome. Great work!!



  24. Deanna from Indiana on October 1, 2021 at 8:20 am

    Your garden is so beautiful. Hard to believe it is so young. You have done a marvelous job planting beautiful trees, etc. to enjoy looking at. I could just imagine myself walking through your garden.
